Mamocs
Mojsl, Nikola ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The main target of my bachelor’s thesis is to present the fictitious tribe of Mamoks, which I create with the help of hyperrealistic procedures in combination with expressive elements. Subsequently, a very non-traditional display comes to existence with this method, combining reality with fiction and fantasy. The work is composed from four sculptures which create two different stories afterwards.

The Folk Costumes
Župková, Ilona ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The outcome of my thesis is airy relief in the form of a spreaded Kyjov´s women's folk costumes. It is made up of embroidery and lace, which gets their original lightness without underlying substance.The white color, I have used, strenghts this feeling. All parts are printed by the ABS plastic. I follow the transformation of hand-made embroidery on the machine-made one with this. 3D printing is another entirely fictitious step for me. Just as the embroidery machine adjusts stitches according to their outline, as well as 3D printer has its own structure of applying material.

The Cave
Šindelářová, Alice ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
A processional project dealing with the cave phenomenon in connection with a prehistoric art. It follows up with the beginning of art and its interpretations. I examine issues of preservation and care of cultural heritage. I consider forms of presentation of archaeological finds and artifacts within museum exhibitions and collections. Through successive steps by studying literature, field research I conceive the final work, which reflects the theme of the cave and bridges the arc of time from prehistory to the present.

Ambivalence of Identity: Cultural Traditions As a Theme in Contemporary Czech and Slovak Art
Maixner, Miroslav ; Klodová, Lenka (referee) ; Janečková,, Zuzana (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the phenomenon of a new presence of references to traditional folk culture in contemporary Czech and Slovak art. Emphasis is placed on the period from the year 2000 to the present. The core of the work consists of chapters devoted to artists who in this period significantly thematized various aspects of traditional folk culture, either as a partial element of specific projects or in the form of continuous interest in the field. The essence of this part is to show the breadth and heterogeneity of the examined manifestations across the media spectrum. The main purpose of the work is to analyze and place the researched phenomena in a relevant context within the theory and history of art. The reason is their different nature from thematically similar manifestations in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, when compared with current trends abroad, a number of connections are shown, such as links to environmental issues, criticism of the state of society and, above all, to new issues related to personal and collective identification. Therefore, I base the analysis of these phenomena on a hybrid interdisciplinary basis using theoretical approaches to identity in the social sciences and humanities. I do so in the introductory theoretical chapters, but the main focus is on the final analytical synthesis. To a large extent, it also builds on data obtained from interviews with artists, the transcripts of which the reader will find in the appendix. Finally, the documentation of curatorial projects and exhibitions realized as a practical part of the dissertation project is attached.

Live Low Framerate
Vrzáková, Barbora ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
In my diploma project I work with a topic of "watching" and arranging of view through digital media, especially the internet. The society got used to permanent presence of CCTV cameras at city squres, banks and shopping centres. The take of tracked locations is much bigger though. I was suprised by the amount of streams from totally unexpected places, which are possible to watch online. It is not a problem to visit a kitchen of columbian bistro, japanise barber shop or italian church, all from the comfort of home. The stream is running constantly and the viewer is limited only by the setting of the camera and a timezone of the particular country. Considering the fact, that separate streams are supplemented by almost no information, we are not able to define, who is the watchman, why is he watching and what is the actuall reason for watching. The whole situation of observing something in limited framerate without any context is just funny and creepy at the same time. My diploma project, which I named Live Low Framerate, is some kind of a reaction of those bizzare aspects of watching the public space.

Edges of Cedar Grove
Luksch, Vojtěch ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
In my diploma, I focus on painting landscapes from the virtual environment of computer games from the turn of the millennium, which with their imperfect graphics are reminiscent of modernist approaches in painting at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. I try to capture the absurd digital visuality of nature, such as angular hills, trees or bushes, in such a way that the image creates the impression or at least evokes the feeling of a modernist work. At the same time, thanks to the relatively free movement in the game landscapes, the paintings become a kind of virtual plein air, where I find motifs and compositions for painting.
